sometimes the hot water produced by a solar water heater is not warm enough to mee the needs of the occupants of a building. A traditional water heater inside the building supplies additional thermal energy to the solar warmed water. How can this method still reduce the overalll amount of natural gas or electrical energy a building uses?

How long does it take to burn off the energy in a slice of apple pie, which energy content is 1680 kJ (400 food calorie), in minutes?

- A hot water heater in a residential home runs for an average of 3.2 hours per day with a heat energy input of 3.7 kW. What would be the annual cost for hot water in this home using a gas hot water heater if the cost of natural gas is $0.33/m3? The gas water heater can get 23 MJ of energy from 1 m3 of natural gas. [round your final answer to zero decimal places]?arrow_forwardDuring periods of high activity, the Sun has more sunspots than usual. Sunspots are cooler than the rest of the luminous layer of the Sun’s atmosphere (the photosphere). Paradoxically, the total power output of the active Sun is not lower than average but is the same or slightly higher thanaverage. Work out the details of the following crude model of this phenomenon. Consider a patch of the photosphere with an area of 5.10 × 1014 m2. Its emissivity is 0.965. (a) Find the power it radiates if its temperature is uniformly 5 800 K, corresponding to the quiet Sun. (b) To represent a sunspot, assume 10.0% of the patch area is at 4 800 K and the other 90.0% is at 5 890 K. Find the power output of the patch. (c) State how the answer to part (b) compares with the answer to part (a). (d) Find the average temperature of the patch. Note that this cooler temperature results in a higher power output.arrow_forwardHeating The amount of chemical potential energy stored in one gallon of heating oil is approximately 130 MJ. This is the amount of energy released as heat during combustion. (Note: 1.0 kWh = 3600 kW-sec = 3600 kJ = 3.6 MJ. Verify this equivalency and use it to answer the following question.) a. Suppose that during the winter, heating your home with oil may require an average of 6 gallons of oil per day. Assuming that to be the case, what is the average daily energy consumption? (Express your answer in kWh.) b. If the cost of heating oil is $3.00/gallon, what is the daily cost to heat your home? Use this information to find the cost of heating with oil in units of cents/kWh.arrow_forward
- I often make tea in my microwave oven. I know that it takes two minutes to bring the temperature of a cup of water from room temperature to just about boiling: ready for the teabag. I looked up the characteristics of a microwave oven. Typically their power rating is about 1000 W, but I know that this is the power consumed from the power company, not the power delivered to the water. I looked up the efficiency of microwave ovens, and found that it is about 64%, meaning that a typical oven delivers 640 W to the water. I also looked up the frequency of the microwaves that an oven uses, and found thatf= 2,450 MHz. (a) How much energy is delivered to the water in the making of a cup of tea? (b) What is the wavelength of the microwave? (c) What is the energy of one microwave photon? (d) How many microwave photons are absorbed by the water in making a cup of tea?arrow_forwardA person uses a Nissan Leaf to commute from home to work 6.0 miles each way in a city (5 days a week, 48 weeks a year). This car runs 124 miles per gallon equivalent. Assume that 1 gallon of gasoline is equivalent to 33 kWh of energy. Also, assume that the Nissan Leaf is powered entirely by coal-generated electricity with a carbon footprint of 1.1 kg of CO2 per kWh. What is the CO2 emission in kg/year? A. 843.097 kg CO2/year B. 1.296*10^7 kg CO2/year C. 421.548 kg CO2/year D. 0.77 kg CO2/yeararrow_forwardWrite a crazy physics question that you can answer using thermodynamics.

- Assume that the efficiency of the portable solar panel shown in the figure is 19%.(a)(a)What is the amount of solar radiation required to provide rated output power?(b)(b)The camper connects the panel to a hot water heater in a 1L water container in sunlight according to (a). How long does it take to raise the temperature of this water from 1 degree Celsius to 100 degrees Celsius? Suppose there is no heat loss.arrow_forwardThe U.S. Department of Energy estimates that up to 10 percent of the energy use of a house can be saved by caulking and weatherstripping doors and windows to reduce air leaks at a cost of about $90 for materials for an average home with 12 windows and 2 doors. Caulking and weatherstripping every gas-heated home properly would save enough energy to heat about 4 million homes. The savings can be increased by installing storm windows. Determine how long it will take for the caulking and weatherstripping to pay for itself from the energy they save for a house whose annual energy use is $1500.arrow_forward(a) Calculate the power per square meter reaching Earth's upper atmosphere from the Sun. (Take the power output of the Sun to be 4.001026 W.) (b) Part of this is absorbed and reflected by the atmosphere, so that a maximum of 1.30 kW/m2 reaches Earth's surface. Calculate the area in km 2 of solar energy collectors needed to replace an electric power plant that generates 750 MW if the collectors convert an average of 2.00% of the maximum power into electricity. (This small conversion efficiency is due to the devices themselves, and the fact that the sun is directly overhead only briefly.) With the same assumptions, what area would be needed to meet the United States' energy needs (1.051020J) ? Australia's energy needs (5.41018J) ? China's energy needs (6.31019J) ? (These energy consumption values are from 2006.)arrow_forward
